MDx-Chex® for BC-GP and MDx-Chex® BC-GN
MDx-Chex for BC-GP and MDx-Chex for BC-GN are controls designed to evaluate the entire analytical process of the Luminex VERIGENE ® BC-GP and BC-GN Panels for sepsis. With MDx-Chex for BC-GP and MDx-Chex for BC-GN, you can track lot-to-lot performance of the BC-GP and BC-GN assays and reduce the occurrence of incorrect results due to instrument or assay failures.
MDx-Chex for BC-GP and MDx-Chex for BC-GN are patient-like full process controls designed to validate the entire analytical process of the Luminex VERIGENE BC-GP and BC-GN Panels, including automated nucleic acid extraction, DNA purification, hybridization of target DNA to the microarray, hybridization of gold nanoparticles to target DNA and silver staining of hybridized probes. MDx-Chex for BC-GP and MDx-Chex for BC-GN cover all targets tested with Luminex VERIGENE for BC-GP or BC-GN, respectively. Microorganisms are intact, inactivated and suspended in a matrix of stabilized red blood cells, white blood cells and blood culture media components, providing you with a control that can be mixed and pipetted like a positive patient sample, reducing the risk of cross-contamination, pipetting errors or other pre-analytical variables that may cause incorrect results.
Features
